Kelly Campaign Calls on Dahlkemper to Return Rangel Donation

Kelly Campaign Calls on Dahlkemper to Return Rangel Donation
Campaign Committee has Received $14,000 from Embattled Congressman
 
Butler, PA – On July 22nd Congressman Charlie Rangel (D-NY) was charged by the House Ethics Committee with several ethics violations.  The Ethics Committee’s action sends the case to a public hearing on the charges this Thursday, July 29th. 
 
The campaign committee for Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper has received $14,000 from Congressman Rangel.  A number of Democrats across the country have voluntarily returned donations they have received from Rangel to avoid the appearance of any impropriety.  To-date, Congresswoman Dahlkemper’s campaign committee has yet to return any of the money donated to them by Congressman Rangel.
 
“Now that the charges are official, we are calling on Congresswoman Dahlkemper to return Congressman Rangel’s donations,” commented Kelly campaign spokesperson Brad Moore.  “At bare minimum the bi-partisan House Ethics committee believes that the Congressman from New York is ethically challenged.  The right thing to do would be to return Charlie Rangel’s donation.”
 
Among other serious charges, Rangel is accused of not disclosing income earned and trading donations for political favors.  (source:  New York Daily News).
